Locally Grown Fruits and Vegetables

Paragraph

Harker Family Farms and Orchard is a small orchard and vegetable farm just 3 miles from I-74 between Greensburg, IN and Shelbyville, IN. Homegrown produce available for sale in season. To find out what is currently available check our news page for the latest updates or see our expected availability below. Please note: Peach season starts usually around the first of July and ends in early September. The peak of the season is late July through mid August so don’t wait too long to get larger quantities of peaches.

All members of the family help at the farm at some point during the year, truly making it Harker Family Farms. Some of the grand-kids are old enough to drive and work at markets on their own now. So when you see us at a farmer’s market or when you stop at the farm stand, you will be talking to at least one member of the family.

2021: Once again Mother Nature was not nice to us! We had a cold snap in April when a lot of the trees were in full bloom. We are seeing some peaches on the trees but not as many as there should be. Stay tuned for more information on what we have available.

What to expect at our farm: We have a simple operation of selling our produce. You can park near our little farm stand and make your selections from coolers and shelves. Most of our produce is ready for you to “grab and go” and we have a locked payment box available in case we are not there to assist you. We have a working crop farm as well as the orchard, and there are often tractors moving about the property that we feel it would not be safe to allow customers to be in the orchard. Our fruits and vegetables are handpicked by trained pickers, sorted and packaged for your convenience.
